Record Drug Bust To Have Exactly No Effect Whatsoever On The Percentage Of People Selling Or Buying Drugs, Just Sayin’

$6 million in cocaine is found

Police investigating a shooting on an Oxford Circle street discovered the stash in the victim’s house.

Police summoned to a reported shooting in Northeast Philadelphia on Friday night stumbled onto $6 million worth of cocaine.

The 61 kilos in a house in the 1000 block of Levick Street amounted to one of the city’s largest drug busts of the year, said Capt. Chris Werner, who commands Narcotics Field Unit 2.

Darnell Romel Bolger, 25, faces charges of conspiracy, possession with intent to deliver, and possession of a controlled substance. Bolger, who lives in the Oxford Circle house, was hospitalized last night at Frankford Hospital-Torresdale Campus with a gunshot wound in his shoulder, Werner said.

“We believe that the location was a stash location. There was no distribution,” Werner said.

Officers were called about 6:40 p.m. Friday and found a wounded Bolger lying in Levick’s median. They went to the alley behind the house and found a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix with bullet holes and a handgun nearby. They then entered the house to check for other shooting victims.
